Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo

Self esteem, self confidence, ability to take care of oneself, sovereignty, self sufficient ... these are all good things to possess and embody. Monikers of internal strength. However, when one thing become over-used or valued, or the other side of the spectrum isn't present, things get out of whack, our lives and bodies become imbalanced, and we get stuck in situations and chronic challenges that keep us in survival or stress mode. Consider this: "We have become so self-sufficient as self-empowered humans that we have become overly self-reliant." Most people I encounter suffer from this invisible dis-ease of Over Self Reliance, we feel it but don't have the words to see it, and therefore transform it. We become so used to doing whatever needs doing, we don't pause to consider what help we need to do it. We don't consider if we don't have the resources we need, maybe we shouldn't take it on. We've grown so accoustomed to fight for what we need or just barely scrape by that we've gotten used to making do and doing more ourselves. And honestly, there have been many times you and I have needed support or help, and it just wasn't there. That has been our shared reality. Yet, we are each being invited to shake off the over-self-reliance to find a more balanced exchange ... even if we cannot see how that is possible, yet. Ask yourself: Where may I be operating from over self-reliance? One I may have needed before, but that now, at this phase in my reality, is not serving me? WISDOM: Where you are OVER self-reliant, you are also UNDER supported, UNDER cared for and UNDER connected. Today we kick off a series I've named From Burnout to Balance ... to illuminate the invisible ways we are operating like banks giving more withdrawls than receiving deposits, resulting in imbalances that lead to undue suffering, struggle, and sacrifice. We start with Ep 233: Goodbye OVER Self-Reliance where we dive into: How Over-Self Reliance manifests - once you name it you gain the power to shift i Acknoweldging the truth of the over self-reliance and why it's been real for you Opening up to doing things differently going forward - and rebalance. I will also walk you through inquiries to get clear on where over self-reliance is impacting you. Together we can all release this generational pattern and find the new ways to create relationships and realities that by nature create harmony and balance. So your radiance, briliance and light is supported for many years to come. See you there, Christine P.S.->> Request - Share this podcast with one person and then connect and share where the OVER Self Reliance is, what the cost has been, and what it's time to do differently. ____ *** WAYS TO GO DEEPER From Burnout to Balance 40 Day Practice - starts in March Align to Your Design - Career & Life Design Mentoring & Consulting with Christine - https://christinearylo.com/align-to-your-design-career-leadership-mentorship/ *** PRACTICES + RESOURCES FROM SHOW Receiving Mantra : I am held.

Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2024. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year. Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2024 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility. Tune in for this year's Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, 2024, Part Two. Find & Keep Your Shine in the Stretch. I'll share with you a series of themed wisdom and inquiries + practices that I'm applying myself and using with all the leaders and communities I work with. I will also take you through some embodied integration of the wisdom, so it really lands in your body, being and brain. Here are some of the Wisdom Pearls you can put in your pocket to guide your choices now and in the months to come - use these proactively + also in the moments when you get the internal wobbles, or the external world or circumstances threaten to pull you into the swirl. Themes FIND THE FEMININE. When you get the wobbles, slow down to find the feminine flow - ask, What do you need to RECEIVE? FIND MY CENTER. Get deeply rooted into the truth of who you are. From this centered place, then you make choices, take actions or just do the next step. FIND MY PART. Know what is no longer yours to do, and release or shapeshift. Embrace what your part is and focus there, without apology or guilt. FIND CONNECTION. Know the difference between growth pains and struggle, and suffering that creates distress. See you there!

Every year in January I wait to do a special Feminine Power Time that looks into the year ahead - to give us wisdom, insight, focus and practices for the now, and what's coming next. 2024 is an 8 year - connected to the energy of Internal Strength + Shining our Light while making sure we are deeply rooted into what keeps us centered, stable, vibrant and aligned. It's also a wood Dragon year - which signals transformative growth and elevation, supported by the feminine (water) and strong natural structure (earth). These archetypes + what the natural cycles are indicating + the commonalities I am sensing form the themes, focuses and inquiries I'll share with you. Tune in for this year's Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - in two parts. Part 1 focusing on giving you insight into the bigger meta themes + powerful inquiries you want to be asking yourself so you co-create a reality that keeps you centered, aligned, radiant and stable as you let go + grow. Episode #231: Finding Your Strength in The Stretch. Wisdom to Consider: Stability & safety cannot be created in the mind. Stability & safety can come through the body, which then informs and calms the mind and heart. Note: If you are listening to this later, no worries, it is still all relevant. It's about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up. Themes Emerging as we Find Our Strength in the Stretch. Stay Light. Stay Awake. Stay Aware. Create the Next while Savoring the Now. Create a Strong Root System that Supports your Stability - mind, body, heart, spirit. Work & live in rhythm with the natural cycles to create a reality that has harmony, even within the chaos. Let go to Grow. Strengthen your Connection & Practices. Tune in with me. Bring paper to write the themes & Wisdom inquiries to contemplate (also posted below). See you there! Christine p.s. CREATE CONNECTION + ELEVATION --> Share this podcast with a Friend or partner.

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head. DON'T: Let the chaos and pressure of the world, or the should's of your self-induced pressure swirl you up or stop you from breaking through to more elevated, expanded, supportive realities. DO: Turn inward, tune into your heart and tap into your deeper wisdom and desires. Dare to let those inspire and guide you. DO: Choose to tune into Wisdom with a capital W before you choose your focuses for this year... you know that higher guidance trying to get your attention, saying "Focus here! Here is where the flow and momentum are!" Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action... which results in more easeful effort, sustainable success + fluid efficiency (plus delight, which we need during challenging times, to keep us going!) One way you can do this is the Year-End Power Pause - taking the full month of January to 'tune in' - feel, sense, tap into intuition and the heart -- to find clarity on your intentions, what's in right timing, and what support & structure you need to receive for the coming year. If we want to access Wisdom vs. just more mental ideas, we need to FEEL not THINK our way forward. CONSIDER THIS: Your mind can only create what it's done or seen before. If we want things to be different, we have to go deeper - into our hearts, bodies, and "subtle energy" realms. In January, I always do a Power Pause episode that takes us through a series of wisdom inquires to contemplate. This year we will use 2 inquiries, and use them to tune into the 4 realms of your whole life. What is matters most to me this year? Where is the momentum calling me, pulling me, moving me? Every year the inquires are different, because every year, we need different inquiries to lead us to the aligned possibilities and most supported actions. I comb through the inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process + the women's leadership councils, to find the ones to open your visioning, intention setting & focusing for the year to come. Tune in for episode 230:Year Start Power Pause: Tune into What Matters Most & Where the Momentum Is. See you there! Christine >>p.s. BE AN ELEVATOR, SHARE THIS PODCAST WITH ONE PERSON -- Just share, or dare create connection by 'doing' the inquiries together. ___ PROGRAMS, RETREATS & TRAININGS 1.

Purposeful Patience. What is it? How can we work with it? And why is it something you might benefit from putting into practice in how you approach how you go about achieving your goals + bringing your ideas, desires and projects into fruiition + creating a consistent sense of wellbeing, even during intensity and uncertainty? Just that :) For the past two years I have been practicing Purposeful Patience. It was the theme and mantra in 2022. Each year I/we choose/receive a yearly theme/centerpoint in the Emerge Visioining Process - like "The Year of Purposeful Patience" or "The Year of Embodying Radiant Grace." (2021) or "Creating & Receiving from Momentum" (2023) I decided to replay this episode of Feminine Power Time: 200: Purposeful Patience: Practicing the Ease Over the Rush, because I needed it again this year ... and I thought you might benefit as well. I love the practice of choosing a centerpoint and over-arching theme and then working with it intentionally all year. It becomes a guidepost and a portal into deeper wisdom that can support us to create realities that are more aligned with our design and desires. If you stick with it as an active practice, by the end of the year, you have SO much more embodied wisdom, trust and insight on how to do things differently. Somethings to know about Purposeful Patience. Purposeful patience is not sitting around waiting for life to happen. It's not a platitude like "Patience is a Virutue." Purposeful patience is a co-creative choice to live in alignment with the natural flow and unfoldment of your life, purpose, projects, and processes. The practice of purposeful patience reduces anxiety, the wasting of resources and time, and the self-inflicted pressure that stresses our minds, bodies, hearts, and spirits. Consider this: Would you more ease (comfort and convenience) or more rush (haste, progress with speed and violence), hustle (shake, push, shove), or busy (meddlesome, toil) in your life this next year? Here's some of what we'll explore: Difference between easing into vs. hustling or rushing into year / week / day The practice of Staying in "neutral" and 'upshifting' Playing and staying in the Void Discerning if you are pushing something forward or something is pulling you forward The dance of Stillness and Swiftness A few pearls of wisdom to play with and try on: Don't rush into a decision just to have things more fixed and secure once again. Take the space to listen, imagine and moodle - even if it's uncomfortable. Inquiry leads to clarity. Creativity opens the portal of possibliity which leads to more easeful productivity. And two co-creative practices: I wonder...? Am I pushing this or is it pulling me? Enjoy playing with purposeful patience in your life - love to hear what you learn. See you there Christine p.s.

In a year where we spend 8,720 hours doing, giving, working, caring, creating, mentoring (and sleeping) … and so much more … to not create space to reflect on all we have done and who we have become, as well as recognize (and honor) our impact, growth & progress, would be just plain crazy :) Plus honoring feels great! The energy and act of "Honoring" is one of the most powerful things we have access to, but that we often under use. Honoring is a form a love. It melts away the heavy feels, the judgements of not enough, the pressure to do more. It turns struggle into comfort and possibility. I invoke the super power of honor every year at this time because I continue to see the power it has to open our hearts, lighten us up, fill us up and give us a way to start the next cycle radiant & clear, roooted in our enoughness. We think of honor as something someone else has to give to us - when in reality we have the power to bestow honor upon ourselves, in a healthy way, with humility and dignity. There is so much to say about honor and what a super power it is. In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 229: The Year-End Honoring Ritual - I'll walk you through this honoring ritual that I do every year for myself, 1:1 with others, with groups, so you can really FEEL the honor, shining a light in these three areas: INVISIBLE: the things you can't measure but have made a signficiant difference, especially all the internal shift and growth, and the things you do that can go unseen but matter alot IMPACT ON PEOPLE & PLANET - how your presence and care has made a difference in real people's lives and the frequency of the planet INCREMENTAL PROGRESS - celebrating how projects, goals, dreams, reality shifts are more in form today I love this ritual so much - May it fill you up with radiance, good vibes and a deep sense of how your presence, care, devotion, and choices matter. With heart, Christine P.S. SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND + DO AN HONORING RITUAL TOGETHER. Share what you are Honoring in these different areas for this year. Use the words "I am proud that ... I honor that..."

Imagine living the full month of December intentionally - connected to what matters, working with the energy of the season in ways that support your wellbeing in all ways - emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, spiritually and relationally. So come the start of the next roman calendar year, you felt fresh, radiant, clear and centered ... ready to receive what is to come. Consider this Wisdom: In the absence a different option, we often revert to what we've done before or what the pull of the mainstream culture dictates. Only when you have a different choice, with practical application and things to 'do,' do you break free of unsupportive patterns and habits, and gain the power to create the reality you desire to be living. I know... that is a big piece of wisdom to take it. Because it's so foundational. Which is why this month, I'm dedicating the entire set of podcasts to things you can 'do' in December at year end that support you to complete the year strong, clear, proud and connected to what matters .... vs. the alternative of the crazy banana world that has so many options and distractions that cause us to drain our energy, bank accounts, life force, etc. and OVER excess in ways that can never quell the deeper desire underneath. In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 228: The Year-End Release: Clear Out Now So You're Set Up for Next Year, I will walk you through 3 practices I do every December to: clear out any emotional, mental, relational or energetic "interference" you do NOT want to take into your next year cycle create harmony in your relationships with people, your body, and your money, so you start the next cycle with more peace, and low to no drama plant the seeds for what you want to manifest and experience next year in projects, career, relationships, so they are there waiting for you to re-engage with. I'll share and take you through 3 Releasing practices: Release Twiggly Danglers - clearing these out. Choose 1 relationship. Choose either your money or body and action to embrace the twiggly dangler into harmony. Release a Short & Transform the "Feels" Attached to It - choose one short - disappointment/failture/shortcoming that was related things out of your control, professionally, personally and in the bigger planetary reality. Release Threads of Possibility into Next Year - choose projects and relationships you want to put some energy into now, to see potentials for next year, so they are there waiting. I so love this practice! May it bring you peace, possibility and power. Christine PS: LEAVE A REVIEW ABOUT WHAT FEMININE POWER TIME GIVES TO YOU. (thank you!) P.P.S..

When I think about the power of the last 4 weeks of the year we are completing, and the first 4 weeks of the year to come, I wonder what it would be like if our culture reflected and supported people to: turn inward to their creativity ... turn toward each other in meaningful connectivity... and to tune into their body/mind/heart/spirit for what they needed to restore and regnerate at deep levels. I imagine a world in which we were taught that these last 4 weeks of a year cycle have so much wisdom and freedom to give us ... if we create the space to reflect and honor all we have done and become ... And as we turn toward the next cycle consciously consider what we choose to release and leave behind ... so as we step into the next cycle, we can more fully co-create the next while living the now. Last year, I realized that I had been doing year-end podcasts and blogs since 2007 - focused on avoiding holiday overwhelm, starting and ending the year differently, living with the cycles, completing the year clear ... so much wisdom and practice there still totally relevant - I put these episodes in the Series Library for You Here. This year ... I tuned into what we needed to support us in this bigger cycle shift we are headed into, to elevate the conversation, and open ourselves up to the co-creative power that is here for us ... if we create the space. Here's the Wisdom I Received:Create Space for Inspired Creativity + Meaningful Connectivity + Restoring Your Deeper Wellbeing Tune in and I'll lead you through this to apply in your life and reality now, including: Lean into & Embrace Creativity. Release the pull to more producivity. Use the practice of Reflow and Refocus to create space Create Space for what you are co-creating in the next year/cycle by Releasing the roles, responsibilities, and roots that you no longer need/no longer serve going forward Create Space for Restoring at deep levels - mind/body/heart/spirit - by saying NO to what subtracts from your creativity, connectivity, and wellbeing, and YES to what supports Try the Holiday Self Sustainability Practice - Choose 3 Harmonzing Words + Release 1 Sabotaging Habit and Embrace 1 Supportive Habit It's a juicy way to open to receive in ways that keep on giving, even after Jan 1, in ways that don't add calories or credit card debt :) With great heart, Christine P.S.

"Synchroncity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see." - Carl Jung I love synchroncity - it's like gold in the bank that never loses it's value, and always keeps be feeling secure and stable, no matter what. - Christine Arylo :) When I can see the meaningful connections happening around me and for me, my faith reserves fill, anxiety and stress release. I feel held and guided. So when get a case of the wobbles, or things seem to be going sideways, or I feel stuck, or I am headed to despair about the state of the world, I can find the threads to pull myself back to center and lift above the fray and connect to a higher frequency. Consider this: In the chaos and uncertainity of our world, it can be really easy to end up with cloudy eyes that make it impossible to see (and believe) the magic. Our normal high-vibe, wise eyes which can see what is real can become glazed over or bewildered by all of the goop from the distorted mainstream world. Gooped up, our internal frequency drops into the tanker, takes us off our path, and gives our energy and chi to the chaos. Wisdom #1: If you don't have something deeper within you, and more real holding you, insecurity is going to invade your internal ecosystem and try to take over. Which is exactly why we are grabbing a hold of our practical magic wisdom book, volume S, today ... S for Synchronicity and Security. Wisdom #2: When you can see and feel the synchronicities happening around and for you, you start to see the patterns that can lead you to new possibilities, wisdom & realitites. When you can see possibility + feel the presence of grace + see the magic connections and occurences happening, the fluctations of the markets, the current state of world affairs, the changes out of your influence, start to hold less power over you. They still might cause a flare up, but they won't take you down. Synchronicity spotting and actively cultivating the environment for synchroncities to emerge are practical magic practices ... they are one way we can feel more secure in an ever shifting world. If we remember to look for them, believe in them, and actively create the ecosystems they can thrive in.

Imagine a world in which creativity, beauty, collaboration, & wellbeing were the major values of the society we lived in. A culture that by nature was efficient, created sufficiency for all, and kept itself in balance & harmony. Stay with me ... this is not a fairy tale or pollyana dream .... I am talking about humans choosing to create societies, systems, businesses, industries, etc. that mimic how the natural world (and we as part of it) thrive and grow best. Wisdom: Humans made the systems that make up our culture, which means we have the power to create different systems, rooted in healthier values, to create a culture that can work for all. This starts with our own choices and voices, and then within the families, teams, and ecosystems we influence. Not easy ... for sure a challenge... but possible. In the realm of magic, there are these things called "rings pass not" -- sticking points that keep you stuck in a reality. To get out of the reality that no longer works, you have to illuminate (see) to liberate (free) to elevate (create). TIME is a top ring pass not ... that can become a "power point." A power point is a focus point that if we take our "muggle glasses" off (that see through smudgy lenses of fear, scarcity & greed) and put on our "magical spectacles" (that see things clearly) empower us to do things differently. When we see clearly, we can locate where we have the power to distrupt the current reality, transform & shift the sh$# that keeps us stuck, and then co-create a different reality and world. Starting with small every day ways. Wisdom: "When you change your relationship to time, you'll not only be more productive, you'll become more empowered to create the space you need and crave. The Wise Ones know the truth about time and the secrets to creating space, and we choose to work with both. " Tune into Feminine Power Time Episode #225: Time Magic: The Power & Practice of Moving from Producitivity to Creativity (#2 of 3 in Practical Magic Series). I will walk you through a series of R's this week - wisdom + practices - for how to free yourself from the time matrix rooted in a culture obsessed with producitivity to a more natural way to get stuff done + savor your life along the way. Moving from Routine to Rhythm Moving From the Efficiency & Functionality Wasteland to the Creativity & Connectivity Well of Being Moving from Fabricated Time Pressure to Flow Moving from Time Scarcity to Space Sufficiency Plus meditations to get you tuned into your subtle body and magic sensors See you there!

Imagine a world in which in addition to math, we and all children were taught about how to work with and apply magic to our day to day lives. Not to pull coins out of our ears, or cast spells on people, but the TRUE meaning and energy of magic. In this world, people know, trust and value tuning into the subtle realms of insight, feeling, senses, intuition, grace - things we can't see with our eyes but we for sure feel with our bodies and hearts. In this world, synchroncity is the flow for how we roll. No pushing rocks up hills or over-asserting wlll to make stuff happen. When we work with true magic, the elements work with us and with us to create more ease, alignment and grace, even in the tricky, challenging parts. You know here at Feminine Power Time we are not waiting for others to create this world, we are choosing to re-imagine, re-design and co-create the realities we know are possible now.... which can also be tricky and challenging. Magic helps us notice and recognize patterns. One pattern I see is how many of us are experiencing the call to / need to LET GO and RELEASE things - relationships to others, to organziations, to how we do things, how we think, where we live, how we live, what we do for work, how we communicate, etc (also tricky and challenging .... hear the theme?) As we get the call to release the old, what no longer serves, what needs to shift, etc. we often resist and struggle, we can get lost and confused, we can give up defeated, and waste alot of life force. SO how about this ... Tune into Feminine Power Time Episode #224: The Magic of Letting Go: The 5Gs for Releasing with Grace. (#1 of 3 in Practical Magic Series). I thought, it's time for calling in the Magic ... to show us how we can go through changes where we must let go of what has been to be open to receiving the new (takes oodles of trust). Bring whatever shift, change, letting go is showing up for you. We'll go through 5Gs of Releasing with Grace, in ways that keep you centered in the now, while living into the next. See you there!

The New Moon Reset is one of those practices that if you weave it into the rhythm of your life, you won't believe how you could have ever lived without it. It's a must for those of us who choose to cultivate a centered, connected, clear presence and perspective, even within the chaos. During these times, we can expect the world is going to go wavy gravy ... that humans are going to horrible things to other humans and the planet ... that the changes we are going through are individually and collectively are going to stir up anxiety, fear and all the feels. It won't always be this way (AND we are in transitory times), and there are many other really beautiful signs that humanity is elevating, choosing love and compassion ... the mainstream news just doesn't cover those so much (which is why we create alternatives which do!) A question to ask ourselves is - how do we choose to walk through these times? How can we be with what is, and also keep our fierce hearts open, faced forward, our vision for what is possible alive, and our thoughts clear? How do we stay light and lifted when the world or people go low? A response is: we lean into, apply, and use the practices rooted in wisdom for how we as people and planet naturally work best. Not as more to do's, but as the HOW we do our daily, weekly, monthly, yearly lives and how we make our choices, big and small... so we can show up as the leaders, co creators and elevators. Ep 223 of Feminine Power Time: The New Moon Reset is one of our Stay Harmonized Practice episodes, where I share/teach a specific practice and then use the power of inquiry, transmissions and somatic experience to make it real and relevant to you today.

The third part of any power pause is always about gaining clarity about what REALLY matters to you, so you and Realign and Refocus. When I say what matters, what I mean is what matters in your heart, spirit and body (the mind is not helpful in this realm, because it's job is to sort, it does not sense into what is real, aligned or life-energizing for you.) What became so evident to me in my research around the roots of burnout, overwhelm, workstyle bias, & self-sacrifice and the real path to creating sustainable success & whole lives that foster true wellbeing is this: Most people make the mistake of focusing on finding more time - "If I just had more time. I need to find time. When I have more time..." This will only keep you in scarcity, lack and slaving away to the now. The Wise ones know that the super power is in Creating SPACE within our NOW to co-create the next. Which is exactly what I am going to guide you through in Part 2 of the Equinox Power Pause - although you can do this anytime and work with the next 3-4 month cycle ahead. I will lead us through a 3-inquiry (plus bonus one) process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL into your heart what matters and Stay present to what is happening in your NOW so you can savor what you are harvesting, and truly find joy and feel fulfilled in the process Name what is wanting and needing to shift, so you can make space for the next, in your now Name WHAT you desire space for - give specific heart felt language to it and then CLAIM that space with fierce self-advocacy Put the structure and support in place + name the next few steps to make this space a reality that you get to PLAY in!

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters. Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat. Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter. The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I added the themes of HONOR + RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle. Tune into this Power Pause and learn some about: Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year Making the invisible and the internal visible - so we can feel it and value it Honoring the process vs the product I will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being: How the energy and effort and focus you have given is returning harvest to you (but you have to pause to receive the harvest) That you have been stretched & chosen to stretch - so you can harvest the strength & keep the wisdom gained. You are supported & sustained in so many ways - but you have to soak it in to believe it. See you there! Christine P.S. Remember -->> REVIEW + / or SHARE this Power Pause with a friend.

What do you 'do' when you find yourself in a time when the pressure is alot, the pace is intense, there's a lot happening - whether it's stuff you are excited about or stuff that's dragging you down? How do you move through it without becoming overwhelmed by it? Pressure and stress are part of life - but there is a difference between toxic pressure and stress that makes you sick and creates distress, and healthy pressure that stretches and supports you to grow. The notion that you should be able to stay strong and push through when the pressure increases is actually a program for self sacrifice, burnout, and isolation - one I invite you to release. And instead embrace this as the new design: YOU receive the support, space, and true strength you need, desire and require during times when the pressure is high. There's a different way to 'do' pressure, and a much healthier way to relate to the pressures coming at you - in ways that are more empowering, human and balanced. There is a lot of pressure that comes at you that is NOT yours to take on, and that you have more choice than you know to say No Thank You Pressure Making Monsters! Consider this: If you want to do more than manage through pressure and intense times, you have to be able to SEE THE SOURCE of the pressure in order to gain the wisdom of how to work with it, in ways that empower you to receive the benefits without crossing the boundary into toxic distress. Tune into Feminine Power Time: #220: Feeling Pressure? What to "Do" When You are In It Together we will explore these three inquiries, to shine a light on where you have the power to release pressure, create space, and dance through or surrender into the change, challenge or situations you find moving through: Where is the pressure coming from? The 4 sources of pressure - self, other, system, society. We'll sense into each one and shed light on where the pressure is coming from. What do you want to do with it? The 4 choices for working with the pressure vs. the pressure working you over. Shift out of it. Surrender to it. Dance through it. Create space within it. What structure you need to put in place daily, weekly and monthly so you relax, release, rest and restore during times you are under pressure? These 4 practices that will get you through this without burning out. Breathers. Movers. End Dates. Receivers. See you there! Bring your Overwhelmed and Over It book if you have it to refer to.

Self Empowerment.... Be Empowered... Own your Power ... Stand in your power ... these are words that we see and hear alot more these days, but what does embodying our power really mean? What is self-empowerment? What does sovereignty have to do with all of this? How do you know if you are coming from your pure power rooted in wholeness or distorted power rooted in woundedness? How do you reveal where you are giving your power away - leaking power - in subtle but signifcant ways? I've been exploring, researching and teaching self-empowerment as one of the 10 branches of self-love for over a decade. I started studying power and realized pretty quickly how distorted our cultural concepts and expressions of power are. And I dove deep into where we as humans, give away our power in unconscious ways. Or express power in distorted ways that actually diminish our influence. Most of us are blind to where we lack self empowerment or we give away our power, or over-rely on distorted power in ways that don't serve us. All of which has a big impact on our careers, relationships, wellbeing, financial reality - we just don't see the connection with the 8th branch of self-love, self-empowerment. Which is why I over the years I have created new defintions of power and sovereignty, practices to strengthen both, and ways to reveal where our leaks and strengths lie. And why I decided to re-run this episode - as a self-empowerment check up! Originally part of the Self Love Series Episodes #178-181. Here is an appetizer for starters - the definition of self-empowerment I crafted as part of the self-love tree: Self-empowerment is choosing to take care of and responsiblity for your life by acting to create the life you really desire, without apology or requiring approval from others. In this episode of Feminine Power, Self Empowement: How Are You Leaking Your Power or Discounting Your Value? : Define Self Empowerment and Sovereignty 5 Signs of a strong self-empowerent and 5 signs of weak self empowerment Difference between 'power' that is reckless , suppressed or distorted in you, and power rooted in wholeness 5 Power Leaks - which are affecting you How this all shows up in our careers, life choices, and relationships to others, ourselves and the organizations we work in/with How to speak from and stand in your pure power in everything from relationships to salary negotiations without being an ass or a pushover. I'll guide you through some self-reflection inquiries as well. If you have the Madly in Love With ME book or Overwhelmed and Over It, grab them as I'll be referencing them in our conversation and exploration. And come over the Feminine Wisdom Cafe where I've posted the full definition of Sovereignty and we're inviting everyone to share what Sovereignty means to them. See you there!

Have you ever considered that while we can do and be anything, you can't do it all at the same time. And honestly, if it's not in your design, even if you make it to your goal, it will feel empty and your lifeforce & energy will be emptied. The dance between your soul path and career path is where the magic, meaning and sustainability live. Do you know what your soul path has to do with charting your career path and allowing it to unfold for you? This is a pretty big topic, which could be it's own series. But I sat with what would most serve us to dive into support you in the NOW while you create the next ... in your career path, your life design and the way you focus your leadership for the most meaningful impact. Imagine a world in which we grew up understanding our soul path... and had tools for staying on it, staying true to ourselves, knowing ourselves, defining success for ourselves, trusting ourselves, and making choices that were in alignment for our unique design, even if that meant disappointing another, distrupting the status quo, or daring to step out of our comfort zone, and into uncharted territory. That's what we are up to in this Feminine Power Time: #219: How Your Soul Path & Career Path Dance Together. #3 of 3 in the Align to Your Design Series. Consider this: The invisible - mystical, intuitive within you - is as powerful & essential as the visible - material, intellectual imprinted into you - to making choices that keep you aligned to your unique and true carer path & life design. When you sense & feel forward vs. just think forward, you naturally create in tune with your dharma, desires and destiny. Some of what we will explore: Soul Path - what is it? how do you know yours? what's soul have to do with our career? Dharma - what is your natural path and essence? why can't you do and be anything? Self-Love & Career Choices - how can too much Self-Esteem, or not enough Self-Acceptance & Self-Awareness guide you or distract you? Desires - how do you discern between the ego & distorted willpower, and what's in alignment with your heart & soul? Evolution Cycles & Soul Curriculum - what is your soul path, curriculum to both receive and give? how do you make sure you don't overstay in situations, cycles or orgs or indiv relationships no longer in alignment with your soul path? I as usual make this all personal with a series of illumination inquries, woven throughout that you can take into your life, contemplate, journal and conversate them with another to bring forth the wisdom your soul truth is wanting to show you.

Have you ever considered how the work you do and the way you work could be different IF you & all people put your WELLBEING at the center? Imagine if our culture embraced that all humans are designed differently, which means what supports our wellbeing - mind, body, heart, spirit - will be different. Therefore, the way we work, and the environments we work within need to be flexible, fluid and responsive to the different kinds of work styles required to empower and enable diverse humans to thrive. Imagine a world in which we defined work not just by what we did to receive money, but all the ways in which we give our energy, care, time to a system, including care-giving & creative expression, as well as the jobs & roles we play within organizations and professions. Then remember this: You and I have the power to co-create culture. Culture is defined as: the total range of activities and ideas of a group of people with shared traditions, which are transmitted and reinforced by members of the group. The root of the word culture means to "cultivate a place" or "to till a place." Like a field. Our power starts with choosing to intentionally cultivate the culture of our individual place/reality. Then the family/relational systems we live in. Then the team ecosystem we work in. Then the organizational, community & social ecosystems we swim in. Consider this: Rather than wait for the big ecosystem to shift to creating a culture who builds how we work based on what we need as humans to cultivate and maintain a strong foundation of wellbeing... we can embrace our power of "harmonic defiance" and make small shifts that lead to bigger shifts to bring how we work and where we work into alignment with all realms of our wellbeing. As Glinda the Good Witch says to Dorothy "You had the power within you all along!" My role is illuiminating where that personal power is. Tune into #2 of 3 in our series: Align to Your Design. Episode #218: Align Your Work with Your Wellbeing, We'll explore these 3 realms to illuminate the way you are designed to work best, liberate you from what doesn't align, and then begin to take small but significant steps to bring your reality into alignment with your design now: Rhythm Roles Radiance We'll also explore and illuminate what must be present for you in the environments you work within in order for you to truly thrive.

What is your "design?" What does that even mean? And why does knowing and having language for your innate design and the evolution of your design have everything to do with having a north star for how you make decisions in what you do, and how you do it in every part of your life? This is not about what color your parachute is, or a what your sun sign is (although fun to know, these surface level dips into ourselves are not the same about understanding the depth and full tapesty and spectrum of your design). Consider this: Every body is different. Our dharma, our karma, our gifts, our paths, our lessons, our self expression. Yet, when it comes to career, lifestyle, wellbeing, money, relationships, we are shown images, prescriptions, expectations for success vs. taught how to tune into and stay true to our unique design. So of course, wouldn't it be wise to know as much as we can about our design? So the paths we choose and the choices we make create the sustainable realities that create the environments that are essential for our unique wellbeing and sense of meaning? Yes :) Which is why we're embarking on this 3-part series: Align to Your Design, where we explore Career, Life, Wellbeing & Leadership Design on a deeper level. Where your design and your desires meet is the key to the focus for the next phase and cycle of your path. The first episode focuses on Career, Vocation and Your Work in the World, and sharing elevated language, metaphors, inquiries and stories to open up your mind and tap more deeply into your design, now. We will set up the full series with a wisdom teaching on getting off the Do More Be More Rat Race, and back to the operating system of Choosing What's Right for You. Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to Career - Your Path. Vocation - Your Part. GIfts - Your Presence We'll also explore your Polymathic nature ... a different way to think about Purpose ... why what you feel called to doesn't always come true ... the difference between putting livelihood and money at the center of our careers.

Every year around the day known as Independence Day in America, I like to tap into the energy of freedom and liberation to bring forth the wisdom, practices and inspiration for all of us ... so we can use the freedom mojo to break free from what might be holding us back, and liberate us to imagine and design the path and possibility forward. This is a co-creative practice - a practice I engage in to co create the now and the next. I come back to this liberation and freedom energy every year at this time because if we are evolving, stretching and expanding we can expect resistance and struggle, but we don't want it to stop us. One way we exterminate the interference is by expanding so much into the possibility, it just cannot take the light! This year I was really feeling we could all use a boost of heart power to clear out the interference and break our consciousness & creativity free, so we can feel the possibility as reality, so much so that it gives us momentum to fuel and focus us forward. Consider this: The consciousness that got you here, cannot take you to what you are thirsting for, what's calling you, what you want to feel and experience next. But if you are feeling it within you, it is real. So we expand to elevate. Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to Interference - The unconcious stuff that keep us stuck in patterns and realities that we no longer desire or no longer serve. Imprints like the solo-solitude or scarcity trap. Internal inteference like constraints and conflict that bind us up vs open us up. When you see the interfernce, you can move beyond it, otherwise you just get "goobered" up and stuck in it (very technical term lol). Imagine - What you are seeking is also seeking you. When you name it and speak it, from a deep place of self worth and empowerment it's like you are painting that reality through your radiance and passion into the world. I'll teach you a practice that invokes the power of Invitation & Radiant Magnetism. Design - It's not a magical manifestation trick, it's a co-creative path and practice we engage in actively to bring this into being. From the power of invitation to exploration to experimentation, it takes courage and clarity and conscious creation and creativity. But that is part of the gift ... the question is will we dance with the Universe or try to control it and therefeor kill it? Join me for episode #216: Invoke Your Power To Expand Your Possibility & Reality - a liberation and invitation boost from the heart. See you there! Christine P.S.

I would love to invite in more ....

One of the smartest things we can do at the mid year point is to pause, reflect, realign and redesign what we are going to focus our life force, resources and time on. This is true for how you run your work life - business, team, organization, career, classroom, etc. And how you run your personal life - wealth, health, home, relationships. For SO many reasons. This is what I call taking a Power Pause. It's a personal and team leadership practice and a core sustainable success principle. It's how we make sure we create realities that are both successful in what we desire to create and cause AND that are sustainable. It's also a best practice for getting out of overwhelm and the feelings that you are never doing enough or have enough. I've been doing Power Pauses myself for a decade and every year at this time I teach mid year power pauses, which I call FLOW for focus your life force on what matters, in many different forms. A virtual program/retreat, in person retreats and for women's leadership groups and teams within organizations. For you my beloved Feminine Power Time listener, 4x a year I do these special Power Pause episodes that include a series of inquiries that are like a Power Pause appetizer. They give you a taste of the full process, and enough of a taste to give you some wisdom bytes about what you truly desire this coming year. In this episode, "215:POWER PAUSE: Honor Your Progress & Reveal What's Working (or Not) for You", I will share: The power & potential behind quarterly power pausing to create more calm, harmony, alignment (and less anxiety, burnout and overwhelm) for us individually and a society How you can use power pausing to ferret out what's not working for you - career, relationship, wellbeing, habits, home, money, etc -- before it gets to disease, distress or drama. The practice of acknowledging in your BODY your progress and your co-creative power, so you can experience co-creation as a real thing. I'll take you through 6 inquiries focused in 2 realms -- Feel Good about where you are now (honoring your progress and choices) and Feel Forward to Right For You Next to reveal what wisdom & changes about your design & desires is trying to get your attention. *** INSPIRED ACTION>>> I listed the inquires below. A. Journal on them. B. Share the Podcast with a friend or your partner to share about them. C. Receive the benefit of the mid year Power Pause, 4-step process, do in your life - learn more http://www.FlowPowerPause.com *** INQUIRIES: FEEL GOOD NOW: Looking back at the first part of this year ... acknoweldge and honor: 1. PROGRESS: Consider the shifts, changes, desires, goals, projects, relationships, etc. that you have been giving energy, time, resources and care to ... "I celebrate that I've made progress in ..." 2. PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL CHOICES: Consider the choices you made internally in the past 6 months, or even last year, that you are now experiencing momentum, movement or physical manifestation in... "I acknowledge & honor that the choice I made to XYZ is now XYZ." 3. MORE PLEASE: What would I love to keep doing, going, flowing, growing this second part of the year? *** FEEL FORWARD: Reveal what's working & not - in the 3 main realms of your life of personal foundation (home, health, wealth, practices), relationships + sacred work/career/self-expression so you can make shifts for the next 4.

At the start and midpoint of the year I always like to pause and put on my "wisdom goggles" to see what is really going on in the world - behind what we can see what our logical eyes or within the our day to day lives. I do this because it helps me see the bigger patterns that are going on... to see beyond the screens of frenzy and chaos ... and to see how what i call 'the banana world' is affecting me in ways I may not be noticing. I also take this pause with my super powered wisdom goggles to trace where the energy is going in the collective culture ... and how and if I want to respond to it. Which informs me so much on how I choose to focus my life force. I created this Feminine Power Time #214: Feminine Wisdom for Living in a Banana World, as a sort of mini power pause to stop and take a look around you and what is happening in the world ... not to be overwhelmed by it, but as an observer who is at choice about how you want to interact within it. I invite you into this practice today as one of the primary practices you can strengthen to stay rooted and stable in the now, while you navigate the new, and make sure you don't get affected or infected by the banana world energy that can drain you and distract you without you even realizing it. Come play with me the "What am i Noticing?" game. Learn about some of our super cool wisdom tools - such as the wisdom googles, the overview pattern seer and the frequency detector. Hear what I am seeing in and outside of the banana world, and use my insights to support you in any way that resonates Contemplate the liberating wisdom teaching : "Be in the world, but not of the world." I also will walk you through a process/meditation that cues you into how the banana world might be amping up unhelpful energies for you ... in whatever threshold or challenges and changes you may be in... and then take you through a 4-step practice I call Fear Shifting. See you there! Christine p.s.

One of the biggest reasons so many of us can feel so busy, overwhelmed, fragmented, pulled in a million directions ... like no matter how hard we work or how much we do, we just can't reach our goals ... is because we are operating from half-power vs. whole-power. So we over work, over effort, try to do too much, choose careers or paths that are not aligned for us. We operate like speed boats vs sail boats - we are moving so fast, focused on the next, we can't even savor what we've worked so hard or given so much to create or take care of. Or we are adrift like lost boats out at sea, without the focus and intentional steps to ride the waves and let the wind carry us to our aligned path. There is a different way ... if we can access some of our full power spectrums. I'm over the moon excited to share with you two power spectrums that give us a path to Do Less. Receive More. Achieve a Greater Impact (while savoring the process!) 1: Strategic Surrender 2: Focused Fluidity Tune into #3 of 3 in our What is the Feminine? And why do we need it?

These two power spectrums brings in the feminine, marry it with the masculine. and creates the HOW we can stay focused on our goals, missions, people we care for ... in a way that we can savor the process... make progress through momentum ... and achieve the kind of success that includes wellbeing of planet and people. Consider this: Success without wellbeing, or having the space to savor the process, is not success. Some of what we will dive into... How to go from making it happen to focusing on what matters now Revealing whether you are too strategic and focused or surrendered and fluid Learning what RBG and sailboats can teach us about sustainable success, purposeful patience, and working in smart ways that focus our resources + leave room for synchronicity and divine timing I will also walk you through applying the power of strategic surrender + focused fluidity to an area of your life now.

Can you re-imagine a world in which our intuition is valued as much as our intellect? Where young women and girls, and all humans, are taught how to discern between their internal knowing, wisdom and truth? Make decisions that not only make logical sense, they make heart sense .... the kind that keeps us aligned on our path ... the kind that gives us the courage to speak up, stand up and do things differently? I think we can co create this reality now - but we need new language, understanding and each other. Consider this: There is SO much power in expanding our understanding, trust in and value system of what true intelligence is. So much power in doing what Joesph Campbell called following your bliss, and what I call follow your heart wisdom AND don't be a dummy pants :) So much power in knowing how to tune into the 4 parts of our full spectrum of intelligence - instincts, intuion, insight and intellect. Self trust. Creative strategic planning that supports creativity + productivity. Making choices in careers, & relationships that lead to less suffering & anxiety and more aliveness and ways to express our creative genius.. Speaking up. Just to name a few. The mind & intellect are not built to tap into creativity and possibility, or even make wise choices. Our minds can only see what we've done before or seen others do. The intellect alone will make all kinds of things that are bad for our world (atomic bombs and AI to name two). When we choose to honor, value, access, embody, employ this feminine energy of intuitive intelligence & heart wisdom... we open up the field of possibilty and creativity... we bring more heart power onto the planet... and the Universe starts showing up to show us the way to create realities that reflect the good and beautiful in humanity. Tune into the second in the series is 212: The Power of Intuitive Intelligence & Heart Wisdom Some of what we will dive into... How to play with your intuition and intellect so they work together for you - so you don't get stuck in being over rationale ... or ungrounded in wishful thinking My 4 Eyes model for accessing the full spectrum of intelligence ... which give you access to Wisdom and a higher level of intelligence Why the mental mind is not the place to look if you want to do things differently - and where to look instead What is heart wisdom, how do you follow it? I will also walk you through a short 4 inquiry contemplation to apply heart wisdom and intuitive intelligence. See you there.

I named the podcast Feminine Power Time for a reason. Even though the word 'feminine' throws or turns off many people (which is part of the reason I knew I needed to keep the name!) Even those of us that get to a point in which we get we need the feminine, want it and cherish the feminine can have a hard time understanding what it is, practically. What do you do with the feminine? How can it help me in my career? My relationships? Choices? Is it really even relevant to business? and big issues like global warming and the education and safety of our children? The short answer. Yes. We are just very ignorant (and imprinted) to not value or understand it. One of my supers powers is taking big concepts and esoteric wisdom and breaking them down. Putting language, visuals, practices, models to it, so we can access this really potent wisdom and energy in our lives, and for all that we care about in the world. The "feminine" first found me in 2006, after my first super woman sob in which all I was trying to do to have success in my business, mission and life was not working (more on that in the podcast). Since then, I have studied it, explored it, experimented, and been educated and initiated into some of the most powerful energy I didn't know existed, but that was there within me all along. For 17 years, I have seen how the feminine is the medicine needed to end at least two big epidemics - 1. burnout of the planet and people 2. the 'not enoughness' that drives so many peoople and young girls to so much unnecessary anxiety, self judgement, etc. I also believe with all my heart that if we embody and apply the feminine, it brings the distortions of our current systems and society into balance and harmony ... and we start seeing HOW to create different realiities, that are rooted in value systems that honor the wellbeing of all people and this planet. This is not airy hope ... this is practical application of straight up wisdom. Tune in and join me for our inagural series in our 8th year ... What is the Feminine and Why Do We Need it? The first in the series is 211: The Power of Stillness & Space Holding. I will set us up for the series + we will dive into more including: Going from Ready, Fire, Aim --> Intend, Aim, Release (it's a get out of the jail of overwhelm, busyness freedom card) The Feminine Leadership Archetype of Space Holder The Power Spectrum of Stillness and Swiftness to get into aligned action Why you only want to do the Hustle if you are dancing :) The feminine does like to be a bit of a mystery - so less words and bullet points. You will just have tune in for more. See you there. Christine p.s. >> REQUEST - Please SHARE this with a friend and then talk about Space Holder and Stiliness and Swiftness.

There is a lot of talk & information about wellbeing, presence, mindfulness, getting good sleep, eating well and self-care ... alot of which can be good and helpful, and alot can also be overwhelming and like more to do's in an already full life. Here at Feminine Power Time we get to the roots of wellbeing by applying wisdom to the choices we make every day ... including the practices, choices and routines that have way more influence over how we feel, how we show up, and how others perceive and receive us than we know. As we embark on our 8th year here at Feminine Power Time - I wanted to take a pause to bring practical application to our theme for this year: Rooting and Rising in Radiance, that enables and empowers us to actually live that theme into reality. It's the choices we make in our every day that determine how we feel and live throughout our days. Contemplate this: Which every day choices are supporting your radiance + your capacity to show up as your best self? Which are draining your radiance or driving you to react to people or situations that does not reflect your best self? When I say "practice" it can help to think about practices in two categories: Proactive and Preventative: Put these into your daily, weekly and monthly rhtyhm to keep your life force and radiance strong, so you are more able and likely to show up as the calm, clear, grounded, radiant, powerful presence that is you. Pull On In the Moment : Use these in the moments you get triggered, pinched, swirled up, overwhelmed, full of emotion or feelings of anxiety or frustration. They will give you a path to move through the trigger or wobble, and recenter. So you can respond vs. react to a situation or a person. Tune into episode #210 - Keep Your Radiance Strong & Light - 3 Practices to Play With and then try these three practices in your day to day. These are three practices I use in my day to day too! Relax. Rest. Regenerate. The Daily & Weekly Bookend Eliminate & Release. Release & Embrace. Choose a time span to play with. Emote to Elevate. Ask someone to be a space holder for you or play with this through journaling, movement or self recorded speaking. I so look forward to sharing this wisdom with you, and hearing what happens as you play with them.

It's hard to believe that today I can share with all of you that this month marks the 7th year anniversary of Feminine Power Time, and since I believe in living by the wisdom, perspectives and practices I share and we work with here, I invite you to join me for the kind of pause that would do us all (and the world) so much good... One: Pausing to Savor what we create. Acknowledge what is already here. Which in our case is a still very relevant Wisdom Library on topics ranging from self-love to sacred work & careers to intuition & making wise choices to feminine super powers & liberating ourselves from burnout to redefining success & embracing our power of harmonic defiance, and so much more. I'm curious for you... what milestone are you moving through right now? Something you could pause and savor and acknowledge, even if it's not 'done'? Two: Pausing to consider what's needed & what we desire to do with the creations we've given our energy to. Find the wisdom for how we grow through momentum, using the principles of Cyclical Living & Co-Creative Pathing. In our case, how can Feminine Power Time serve you, me and the world in this next year (it's 8th year). Tune in with me for this special episode of Feminine Power Time: The 7th Anniversary Milestone: What We've Created & Where We Go From Here. You will notice Feminine Power Time has received: an elevation & expansion in her external expression to match the internal frequency of the depth, breadth and energy we cultivate here - ie. check out the new podcast website, logo and banner branding, www.FemininePowerTime.com a Series Library - so you can access the episodes within a particular topic or share a topic with someone in an easy way vs. having to go through all 253+ episdoes the Full Library - access to all episodes + my blogs searchable by date and topics Four parts to our conversation & exploration that will provide the focus and format for the next year: One: I'll share how I am using the wisdom for sustainable success and growing our projects & missions & desires through momentum with Feminine Power Time now and the next - and how you can use this for your own creations & desires: Releasing Procrastination, perfection, plans + embracing the path and co-creative practice Cyclical 10 Count - natural growth cycles of 10 years Creating from momentum to rise into radiance vs stay stuck in status quo or blow it all up Two: Theme for our 8th year - Rooted and Rising in our Radiance Three: Foundation and Focus Going Forward Centerpoint - Re-Imagining the Way We and the World Work … changing what we mean by "work" and how we work as individuals, collective, systems, society, and embracing our co-create power to Re-imagine, Re-design & Re-create. 6 Parts, that make up the harmony star that creates this space for us Feminine Power Time Turn off the Chatter Tune into what matters. Wisdom Leadership Wellbeing Four: What I heard from the Survey. At 56 minutes; Share short sumamary the results of the recent survey + the structure for the next cycle. Thank you to everyone who responded to the survey. And thank you to each one of you who has engaged here me in this intentional space I call Feminine Power TIme. I created this as "intentional space" for us to step outside of the crazy chaos of the world and the hectic pace of our lives… so we can tune in to what is real, right and true. There is so much interference and information out there creating pressure, confusion, anxiety, frustration inside our heads & hearts… driving us to make choices, big & small, that are often not aligned or sustainable. This is why we really do need places that operate at an elevated frequency. Feminine Power Time is such a place. It's more than a podcast. It's space created for you, and all those daring to do things differently. Look forward to this next cycle of our journey together. Christine P.S.

As we go into this next cycle, and look ahead at what we desire to create for ourselves, those we care for and influence, and the world, two thing I do know for sure is this: HOW we do this must be done together. It's the design of how we create a different reality, rooted in wholeness, compassion, interconnection, inclusion & sustainability. Our relationships are a big part of both our personal and collective healing & elevation. The time of the lone wolf, hero, guru, star, indivdual leader is done. The time of putting the world on our backs & doing it all on our own, and sacrificing ourselves for our cause, company or just mere survival needs to be complete. As we watch the world around us transform, one thing we want to really open our eyes to is the realm of our Relationships and what I call our "Webs of Connections". So much of our personal and collective transformation and elevation can only happen in relationship ... to other people, and to communities, groups and eco systems of people. Our relationships - the ones we have or the ones we lack - are where we work through our wounds, heal our hearts, return to wholeness, and as result become like agents of elevation in our families, partnerships, teams, communities, companies and the larger world. Our relationships are the how we move out of working in ways that make us sick... how we create a culture in which people are compassionate, collaborative and inclusive... how we create a reality in which people stop making choices from fear and instead open their imagination to see different possibilities where there is enough for all. I am curious ... Do you have the relationships you need now, and to create the next? What are the relationships + webs of connection that will support you to grow, express in your full genius, & be sustained now and in the next? Are you up for the experimenting with different ways to engage in relationship? And making changes to how you show up within them? Live the next months and years like a "yoga of relationship" where you can elevate your frequency and experience of relationship in all realms of your life? Today we open up the portal of elevation for the now and next .... to empower us to create the relationships and connections we really do need for this next 3 year cycle and beyond. In this episode, #208 (#3 of 3 of our extended Power Pause)- we will focus on your Relationships and Your Web of Connection. I will share with you two frameworks: The 4 kinds of relationships you want into place - from conscious collaborations to mutually beneficial connections to your heart line to resonant communities. The 4 different kinds of actions you can take in existing or non-existing relationships: Release. Redesign. Reconnect. Reveal & Reach Out. I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries: 3 Co-Creative Inquiries 1. Who am I keeping company with? What is the frequency of the connection or the field? What is draining/dissonant? What is fine/no sweat? What is energizing, empowering and resonant? 2. Who are the people I am meant to connect with? 3. If what and who I am seeking is also seeking me, what could be creating interference? Creative Actions: Write these inquiries out. Increase your awareness of current company. Make a visual of the people you are meant to connect to and invite the Universe to help you make connections. Choose one relationship from each category to work with these next 3 months or year ... Release. Redesign. Reconnect. Reveal & Reach Out. See you for the conversation. Honored to be on the path with you! With heart, Christine p.s. REQUEST to CREATE CONNECTION: SHARE THIS PODCAST with a friend. Ask each other the inquiries.

Consider this: You career is your path. Your vocation is your calling. Which means as long as you stay true to yourself, live your design, and stay open to learning and evolving... you will make choices in the jobs you take or don't, the 'vocations' you say yes to, and the organizations and people you choose to work with that are aligned for you. If your career is a path, that means that it will have turns, uphills, downhills, weather systems, and unexpected events. It's not a straight line or a ladder - although the over culture conditions us to believe so. If you are a person who has dared to follow your truth, heart and deeper knowing, you have likely stepped outside of what is deemed normal, smart or successful. Good for you! That is what we do as co-creators who feel empowered vs. cogs who follow the rules or worse sharks who eat others for lunch to get ahead. We are at a threshold and big shift in the evolution of humanity - transformation, changes, uncertainty, structures breaking down - of which we are individually a part of. The wise ones PAUSE to consider where we are NOW and where we want to go NEXT in our careers and the vocations we say yes to. We work with the energy intentionally vs. being worked over by it blindly. That's why we are doing this power pause series on Feminine Power Time - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What's Next. In this episode, #207 (#2 of 3)- we will focus on your Career (path) and Vocation (calling). I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries: 3 Co-Creative Inquiries 1. Who am I working for? 2. What am I working for Now? Am I in a Shift, a Stand & Savor, an Unsure & Stay put, a Sustainability Reset, a Service? 3. What I am moving towards Next? What is the reality I desire to fully experiencing in my career and vocation three years from now? BONUS Inquiries: * What is no longer sustainable or suitable to my design or today's reality? Do I Release or Redesign? * Where is the energy and momentum at? What do I need in the now to follow it? Remember ... the over culture will pull you onto the go go more more more escalator or sweep you and your life force up, if you are not centered in your truth and knowing about your path, your vocation and clear on WHO you work for. Even if you say you work for yourself. Also... We are not meant to do this alone, be lone wolves, or scouts with little to no supplies. We are meant to work in collaboration, synergy and be supported and sustained as we give our gifts and genius and live well. This is our practice, not a prescribed 7 step process :) So we apply these co-creative practices to guide they way. See you for the conversation. Honored to be on the path with you!

New inspiration for Feminine Power Time...what I'm calling an "XO" episode ... XO from my heart to yours .. like a movie "short," it's a podcast shortie to bring forth something that moves my heart to share with you spontaneously. I have these moments where I am feeling the energy in the world + sensing themes through the conversations I am having with conscious beings that make me feel "Oh, it would really serve us all to hear this wisdom right about now!" But instead of waiting to do a full podcast, I thought we could experiment with this shorter format. See if we like it? This first XO short is all about getting to the heart of a pattern, habit, imprint that might be driving you - unconsciously - into overwhelm, self sacrifice, burnout, and ways of working, living, relating. One that is rooted in your self-worth and the imprints around self-worth that have been imprinted on you. If we can't get to the root of what is causing the burnout within us, we cannot change the systemic roots that keeps us stuck in the in patterns, relationships and situations that do not support our sustainability + thriving. Nor change the systems we work and live in. Every year around this time, I put myself on a 40-day practice to shine light on root habits and imprints that are driving me in ways that don't serve me + to shift my habits to support my wellbeing & desires going forward. I was reflecting on the years I've done 40 day practices, and remembered that I had written about one of my profound 40 day practice breakthroughs in Overwhelmed and Over It. Specifically, the connection between our self worth & feelings of safety, security and enoughness and our inability to break free of burnout & self-sacrifice. In this XO from my heart to yours, I will take us through some wisdom, experience and a set of inquiries that will help you shine some light on where you may be unconsciously pushing yourself way too hard, or stuck in systemic imprints you just don't know are there. Consider this (excerpt from book and podcast): The simple truth is this: We cannot give ourselves the space to pause or replenish, nor can we create a reality in which we can be both successful and sustained, in part because we've been imprinted to value ourselves based on how busy we are; how much we've achieved; or how hard we have to push, strive, and grind. Or we've been so laden down with the reality of just having to survive, we haven't had space to even consider the pace we'd prefer, because we are drowning, barely keeping our heads above the water. This is true, for so many of the reasons we have stated about the way this world is currently structured; what society values; and the increasing pace and demands on us financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally to just keep up. As we've said since the start, "It's not our fault. And . . . you and I, and all the other women on this planet, are the ones with the power to change it, together." The way forward is this: We bravely look underneath all the push and grind to see the lies, fear, lack, feelings of "not enough," and distorted ways we value ourselves, and heal and free ourselves from them. We re-root ourselves into the truth of our inherent value and a real, felt sense that we are held and guided by something greater, of which we are a part. To start us moving in this direction, I have a few inquiries for you. Let's look underneath the roots + re-root ourselves into our inherent value and connection. See you there, Christine p.s.

Consider this: What you focus on now, will influence the reality you experience in the years to come. What you choose to give your life force and resources to this year will show up three years from now. The choices you make around your wellbeing now - in your habits, relationships and life & work design - will show up in your health & wealth twenty years from now. This is a natural law, which means it is naturally how things work .... and this year more than ever that's true (more on that in the podcast). Which is why I felt compelled to create an extended power pause for us this year ... that will give you wisdom, insight and clarity on this year (the NOW) and also the coming three year cycle (the NEXT). This power pause series - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What's Next - will give you 3 inquiries per episode focused on a specific area of focus that felt like was really calling me & us to give some conscious thought, feeling and imagination to. Why so much to do about inquiries? It's not as much about the words we say, but the inquiries we make and dare to seek deeper wisdom for that determine the quality and reality of our lives. Inquiry gives us insight into higher intelligence and inner truth. We'll focus on these 3 key inquiries in this episode #206, focused on your Wellbeing & Lifeforce ... both for the NOW and for the NEXT: What is needed to sustain the longevity of my wellbeing? In my habits? Relationships? Work & Life design? What am I giving my lifeforce and resources to? What's draining/distracting me? What is in alignment (and NOT) with my values? What is sustaining & enlivening me?What's dimming my light? Where do I have the power to release some pressure now? I also break each of these down to make it practical and accessible for you. And end with a embodied meditation. These are the same inquiries I make for myself. I use the wisdom that arises to make choices that lead me to what is right, real and true for me now. May these wisdom inquiries serve you to make clear, courageous and compassionate choices that keep you aligned to your path, purpose and desires. Remember... Choose to protect and retain your life force as if it is the most essential resource you possess. Because it is. The systems will take everything you give them -- be an advocate for yourself by giving only what is in harmony, and being conscoius about what is no longer serving you, and what is truly enlivening you!

If you think about it, so much of the support we receive comes through the hands and hearts of other humans and so much of us not receiving the support we desire and require, also comes through our relationships (or lack of them.) Which is why in our last in the 3 part series of "Receiving the Support You Desire & Require" we are going to and march right into the place where we have so much power to receive more support ... removing interference + opening to receive support from other humans. I like to call this "Receiving Radiant Support" because it's the kind of support that keeps your light bright, supports your longevity of wellness and is the key to succeeding in bringing that what matters most to us in our work, purpose and lives into form. Radiant support is also what shine the light ahead as we navigate changes, step into the unknown and manage the wobbles as we create the next and new. This is not the time for the lone wolf, do it all yourself, or plough through. It's not weak to need support and help from others. It's human to need a helping hand (or really hands!) It's human to need to feel held in a bigger community and tribe. And it's also human to have all kinds of internal interference to receiving support from others that you don't even know is there. Unconscious, distorted imprints creating more struggle and self-sabotage than you realize. So grab your self-awareness flashlights - and let's take a deeper look to find the interference and start to move it out .... and illuminate the streams of radiant support that you need and require in this next cycle. What kinds of good humans do you need more of in your life and connection web? What unconscious imprints are interfering with your ability to receive support? What positive imprints do you have that you can lean into to create more support? What practices and structures help you to open to receiving assistance and support? What sabotages you from asking for help, support or connection? I will also share some of the every day practices I use to open up my capacity to receive radiant support including : Moving foward through Momentum. Leaning into Structure & Consistency. Feminine Super Power of Connection. Finding Evidence of Divine Support. Gratitude Bathing. See you there, Christine RESOURCES Tune into Noah's Meditation on Removing Blocks to Receiving Support.

When we think of advocacy or being an advocate, we often think of how we show up for and support others, or take stands for the causes that matter to us - which is a beautiful thing. Today, I am inviting you to turn the energy of standing for, honoring and being a voice for others towards yourself. Self-advocacy. What would it look like this year if you chose to be an advocate for yourself? What would it look like to so deeply honor what you desire and require, that you were willing to stay true to yourself, even if that meant disappointing another? What would change for you, if instead of just heading straight into all the things you desire and need to tend to, create, cause and respond to, you paused to consider what SUPPORT YOU NEED? These are the questions I am inviting you step into in this series - Receive the Support You Desire and Require this Year. And then, after tuning into your deeper truth and wisdom, start using your voice and your choices to create a reality in which you truly do receive the support you need. WISDOM: "In times of stretch or stress, or when you are doing something new, ask for and receive more support, not less." (Overwhelmed and Over It page 175) In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #204 SELF-ADVOCACY: Honoring What You Need, No Matter What, we'll explore: Self-Advocacy and Self Honor - where do these live within you, and how do you access and apply their power to your daily life Personal Sustability before Purpose & Responsibility - What foundations must be in place to support us to give to those we love, lead and influence Investing in Support - where do you under-invest time, energy and financial resources in the support you need? And were do you invest easily? I will take you through a guided process tuning into 4 areas of physical foundational support. This will tune into your deeper wisdom and needs about: What are the support structures you both desire + require in your physical and material foundation this next cycle - Home, Health, & Financial Flow? What does stability and vitality in home, health, and wealth FEEL like for you? What rhythm and pace structures will hold and support you daily, weekly. monthly and yearly this next cycle? Tune in to explore and experiment with Self-Advocacy this year. See you there Christine P.S.

"We have become so self-sufficient as women that we often don't consider the support we need, and even when it does show up, we struggle to fully receive it." These are the words that start Chapter 8 in my book Overwhelmed and Over It which is the chapter that gets to the root about why we push away support or don't receive the support we need, and then up burned out, and stretched too thin. In this 3-part series, Receive the Support You Desire & Require this Year, we take a stand together to get real and practical about how we ensure you DO get the support you need, require and desire, and/or make different choices based on the resources you have. I was going to do this as one episode, but when I felt into what would really serve us, a deeper dive into you FEELING and BEING supported on all levels came through loud and clear. In Part 1 we will explore and dive into some of the key wisdom teachings that create the foundation for support to actually show up in and grow in your life, including: It is not weak to need support. Needing support is human. It is a sign of strength to name the support you both desire and require. To receive support you have to both NAME it and CLAIM it. Frequency preceds form - meaning you have to feel supported before you are supported. We have more support than we think. Expressing gratitude for the support you have, creates more a field for more support to come in Throughout the series, we will create space for you to tune into 5 different realms you have the power to be and feel more supported, from the inside out. These just all happen to begin with the letter P. They all reflect the FOUNDATIONS of SUPPORT we all need at this time. In this episode of Feminine Power Time we will explore PRACTICE + PLAY, including the structures and support that will: Keep you tuned into your higher consicousness, even when you are having a very human experience Keep physically, emotionally and mentally harmonized - calm, clear, centered, rooted in wellbeing and resiliency Keep your spirit lifted Keep you feeling connected Keep your imagination and creative channels flowing and your frequency and clarity high as a result. Tune in. Share with a Friend. Then Support each other to receive the support you desire and require. Big heart, Christine ******* Resources: 1.

Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was just one week after the start of the Lunar New Year, at the phase of the moon aligned with the energy of Focusing, Creating, Intending, and Empowering Ourselves - so in alignment for this coming year cycle + the bigger 3 and 20 year cycles ahead. 2023 is a 7 year - connected to the Chariot - and a water Rabbit year - again a year that it would be wise to lead by the feminine aspects and power, with masculine structure supporting. These archetypes + what the natural cycles are indicating + the commonalities I am feeling and seeing for myself and the conscious people I know and work have formed the focus and themes for this year's session. I've been thinking of you all for the past few weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly "Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead" episode. Which is why I've waited three weeks between episodes. I always wait for the wisdom and focus to emerge ... which it did today, after I returned home from a two week co-creative trip to California. After weeks of being in my own reflection and visioning process, watching what's happening in the world, deepening in my own practice and listening for guidance from Wisdom with a capital W, once again, a series of 'wisdom bytes' - themes - flowed out. It all popped out like a stew that had been cooking for weeks. That's letting the feminine lead, purposeful patience and stillness (listening) before moving into movement and action (which is a theme for this year especially, more on that). Tune in for this year's Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - 2023. If you are listening to this later, no worries, it is still all relevant. It's about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up. Feminine wisdom teaches us to prepare for the intensity, uncertainty, transformation and change. Not to brace yourself for it, but to embrace it, pace yourself through it and cultivate the vitality, resilience and wisdom you'll need to stay elevated above the fray and the chaos. Tune in with me. And if you have some paper ... bring it to write out some of the themes I share (also posted below). See you there! Christine p.s.

Feminine Leads- purposeful patience and movment ... hopping one hop at a time, not speeding or trying to skip steps to go forward. 2. FLOW = Intentional Focus + Intuitive Fluidity ... as we step into these next time cycles, what is at the center of the design of what you want to give to the world through your gifts/career/presence/part? What is at the center of you need to receive to be nourished, centered and sustained? What foundations are already in place that you can lean and relax into? What's calling for your heart and soul to focus and give your energy and time to, that feels good, aligned and meant for you? 3. Frequency ... What do you need to keep your frequency high this year? What brings it down or creates interference? What practices and communities do you have in place to keep your frequency high? 4. Forms ... how we do the next now will be different. Some forms to keep in mind mentioned in the podcast.

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head. Don't let the chaos and pressure of the world or the should's of your self-induced pressure and thoughts swirl you up. Instead turn inward, tune into your heart and dare to tap into your deeper wisdom and desires and let those inspire and guide you. Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action. Not so we can have it all figured out like an agenda or project plan. But so we can be clear on our intentions, be connected to what's really in right timing, and to see what we can't see with our eyes but can sense with our deeper intuitive knowing ... if we slow down to listen. Wisdom also teaches us ... the wisdom is within you for your most soul-aligned path ahead, the path that sustains you on all levels - mind, body, heart and spirit. And the portal into that wisdom is not in your mental mind, it's in your heart and body. Every year I do an episode that takes us through a series of wisdom inquires I think would serve us to contemplate, at this time. How we start the year creates the reality ahead. Use the practice of these 'wisdom inquiries' so you can stay focused on what truly matters, create the realities for ourselves and the world that align with our deeper truth and desires, and realize sustainable success. This year we have a set of 4 inquiries Four is the number of structure. So you can think of this as you setting structure / focus so that the year ahead actually aligns with what matters most. Every year the inquires are different. Because every year, we need differently inquiries to lead us to the possibilities we haven't even considered with our limited - often fear reactive - minds. I comb through the many inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process to find 4 to "prime the pump" and open your visioning, intention setting and focusing for the year to come.

Purposeful Patience. What is it? How can we work with it? And why is it something you might benefit from putting into practice in how you approach how you go about achieving your goals + bringing your ideas, desires and projects into fruiition + creating a consistent sense of wellbeing, even during intensity and uncertainty? Just that :) For the past year I have been practicing Purposeful Patience. It was the theme and mantra of my year. Each year I/we choose/receive a yearly theme/centerpoint in the Emerge Visioining Process - like "The Year of Purposeful Patience" or last year "The Year of Embodying Radiant Grace." I love the practice of choosing a centerpoint and over-arching theme and then working with it intentionally all year. It becomes a guidepost and a portal into deeper wisdom that can support us to create realities that are more aligned with our design and desires. If you stick with it as an active practice, by the end of the year, you have SO much more embodied wisdom, trust and insight on how to do things differently. Somethings to know about Purposeful Patience. Purposeful patience is not sitting around waiting for life to happen. It's not a platitude like "Patience is a Virutue." Purposeful patience is a co-creative choice to live in alignment with the natural flow and unfoldment of your life, purpose, projects, and processes. The practice of purposeful patience reduces anxiety, the wasting of resources and time, and the self-inflicted pressure that stresses our minds, bodies, hearts, and spirits. In this episode of Feminine Power Time: 200: Purposeful Patience: Practicing the Ease Over the Rush, I was inspired to share with you a handful of the pearls of wisdom I received - so you can apply the wisdom to the rhythm of your year, your months, your weeks and your days. Consider this: Would you more ease (comfort and convenience) or more rush (haste, progress with speed and violence), hustle (shake, push, shove), or busy (meddlesome, toil) in your life this next cycle? Here's some of what we'll explore: Difference between easing into vs. hustling or rushing into year / week / day The practice of Staying in "neutral" and 'upshifting' Playing and staying in the Void Discerning if you are pushing something forward or something is pulling you forward The dance of Stillness and Swiftness A few pearls of wisdom to play with and try on: Don't rush into a decision just to have things more fixed and secure once again. Take the space to listen, imagine and moodle - even if it's uncomfortable. Inquiry leads to clarity. Creativity opens the portal of possibliity which leads to more easeful productivity. And two co-creative practices: I wonder...? Am I pushing this or is it pulling me? Enjoy playing with purposeful patience in your life - love to hear what you learn. See you there Christine p.s.

Every year I love to create a special a Feminine Power Time episode that invites us to press pause and really reflect and receive the progress we have made, and the impact we have had on people, the planet and all of the projects and dreams that called for our attention this year. Why? Becasue most of us do not register in our minds, bodies or being that we really have made progress, and that what we are doing is making a difference. Most of us feel like we are not doing enough – in our day to day, towards our goals, for others in need or for the planet. So we feel like we are always behind, like there is never enough time, and like we will never have the space to get to what matters most. This is I believe is one of the greatest sources of anxiety, dissatisfaction, overwhelm, burnout and stress that we have the power to shift by choosing to do something differently -- pause to truly FEEL how we have made a difference so we can SEE IT and BELIEVE IT ... and RECEIVE IT. Exhale. My body seriously just took an exhale as I wrote that! In order for your brain to register the progress you've made, and that things ARE happening and changing, you have to pause to feel it. For your being to believe you are making a difference through your voices and choices, you've gotta feel that too. And feel GOOD and PROUD ... this is called "honoring." Self honor is very connected to self respect. Self Honor is one of the 10 types of self love - so it's not boastful or distorted pride, it's healthy. Honoring yourself for how you have chosen to show up, give your energy, be a source of good in the world is a way to bring more LOVE and peace and goodness into the world. This episode is part wisdom teaching, part ritual, part guided visualization and feel-a-zation and part overall boost of wellbeing for your mind, body, spirit and heart. Part 1: EOM - Evidence of Momentum. On the progress you have made in the different realms of your life - professionally and personally. Part 2: EOL - Evidence that your Love and Light touched people, real humans, and it mattered! (in all the ways you gave your energy and care) Part 3: #HarmonicDefiance for the Planet: Evidence that your choices to do things differently + to elevate your own consciousness are impactly the planet's wellbeing.

How do you want to feel as you complete this year and as you walk into and begin the next? Overwhelmed? Drained? Exhausted? Busy? Over-extended? Of course not! Yet there is so much pressure internally and externally that can create this as the reality you live vs. the one that you desire for the last and beginning weeks of the year. Since 2007, I have been talking about and writing about Holiday Overwhelm and how to avoid it. How not to get hooked by obligation. How to do things differently than what the culture says is normal, but is really kind of crazy :) But this year, I decided I wanted to ELEVATE our conversation and focus ... from the base level consciousness that keeps us stuck in cycles of end-of-the-year madness, and year-start repentance, to some things we can focus on to elevate our experience ... to ones that create a stronger sense of calm, peace, joy, fulfillment, regeneration, creativity, connection, spaciousness. You know all the stuff we see on holiday cards? Wisdom teaching: What you focus on grows. So what will you focus on ? My very wise ski instuctor's teaching: What you look at, you will hit. Look away from what you don't want to hit. Aka If you want to avoid hitting a tree, then look away from the tree and look towards where you want to go. My translation - focus on and look where you want to go so it grows within and around you. In this episode 198: Complete & Create Your Year Clear: Avoid Overwhelm & Over-ing. Focus On What Fills You Up we will explore, activate and dive into a series of practical ways to FOCUS on what would be supportive and sustaining ... so you can savor and enjoy the completion of one cycle and the beginning of the next ... and make choices in your day to day that will keep your center clear ... and support you to feel nourished, at peace, empowered, calm, and any of the other feels you want to embody! Here's what TO focus on (and what not to): Enough (Not Excess) Simplicity (Not Complexity) Reflow to Regenerate (Not Squeeze it All In) Do What Matters (Not Do More) Honor What You Need & Desire (Not Obligation) I'll share the wisdom behind these, and how to use these practically in the moment to make choices or change a situation. Bring some paper to write these down and then try them out. With great heart, Christine P.S. Elevation Action: Share this podcast with a friend, so you can support each other real time.

Co-Creation - we've defined what it is ... but HOW do you do it? How to real people living real live actually live as the co-creators of their reality, of their relationships, and of the parts of the world they impact? Living as a conscious co-creator in my experience is not some estoeric notion or nice idea, it is choice you make, and the path and practice for how you see and engage in every part of your world - from the small mundane moments and tasks to the big choices. To complete this special series in Embracing Your Co-Creative Power series, which focuses on Co-Creative Practices I thought having one of our special "Wise Woman Tea" sessions would make this part of the series most valuable for you. Wise Woman Teas are sessions where I invite on a person (or people in this case) who I am actually in relationship with and know personally, and who also is really living whatever we are exploring. I invite you into the conversation: Conscious Co-Creation: The Practices for How We "Do" It with myself, Katherine Torrini and Jennifer Bloom, two women with whom I have been exploring and deepening our understanding and practice of co-creation for almost 7 years together. We are part of feminine leadership council together in which we have intentionally dove into what co-creation is and how we 'do' it, and have co-created books, journals, events and more together. Also, while we share a love of co-creation, we also are different in our approaches and perspectives, which is why I invited them to join us. Tune in, you are invited into the conversation where we will literally co-create the experience, and explore practices like: Magic - and how to bring it into the mundane Imagination - the kind that led to humans making airplanes before any human had ever flown Conversating- how we use 'wise woman tea' and wisdom councils to conversate and find insights and have ephinanies Synchronicity and Synergy - what environment is needed for these to occur, and what creates interference that doesn't allow these to emerge The Co- Leads to Flow vs Solo - how remembering the "Co" reduces overwhelm and opens up the field for connection vs. isolation We will end with one of our favorite co-creative pratices for creating a better world now + shifting our own realities now ... "Imagine a World" (and invite you to try it on the Feminine Wisdom Cafe). And Jennifer will end us with a song / poem she wrote that will open your heart and mind to possibilty and co-creativity. See you there. And read below for links to connect with Jennifer and her poems, and Katherine and her visual thinking magic. Christine p.s.

I have a few questions for you: "Would you like to complete this year feeling centered and good about what you did? Start the new year feeling clear - mentally & emotionally? Like your physical space to feel clear and coherent? Like to be free of some of the relationship drama or distress in your personal or professional relationships?" Imagine how you would feel if you had more space in the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year. Are you exhaling yet? Of course our answers to this possibility are YES! Choosing to downshift in November and December seems sane and what's needed.Starting the new year clear is not just a nice to have - it's what any wise person would do. But how do you 'do' that? Especially in the chaos of the world, the many things pulling at you, and all you think you should be doing? My council has been the same for a decade, and it's even more essential in the times we are living in. The wisdom is clear: You put into place simple but mighty practices - rituals that create a rhythm that connects you to your deeper wisdom, and that empower to you make choices that lead to you working and living with the natural cycles. And what is in alignmnet to focus on now ... and what can be flowed to after the start of the new year. We elevate our perspectives out of the mainstream made-up and toxic time pressures and other pressure to buy stuff, stay busy and be productive. And instead get clear and real about our value systems. And dare to make choices - big and small - that sustain vs drain us. We use these weeks to downshift vs. upshift. Regenerate vs. get slowed down by the Universe by getting sick. Create in ways that nourish our heart and soul and spirit, so we fill our radiance, vitality and passion tanks (which have likely been depleted this year.) Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time: Dare to End and Start Your Year Differently : 3 Perspectives + Practices to Regenerate, Create Space + Co-Create It includes 3 practices and perspective, along with inquiries and some guided meditations that will help you Complete and put energy toward what you really desire to get done and take care of - in relation to your body needs, your money management, your home space, your work & creative projects and your mental space Bring 'twiggly danglers' in your relationships into coherency in a healthy way - parts of relationships professionally or personally in where something it out of whack or alignment, that you know deep down if you don't deal with will come back next year in a more dramatic way. Focus on creative projects that would really nourish you, and reflow things you'd like to do but you know there's not really space to do until next year - which will create space for you to savor these next few weeks and the first weeks of the new year. Give you guidance on how to put rhythm, rituals, and structures in place to downshift through the first week of January, and then upshift in the flow vs. hit the ground running. Make choices that sustain you vs drain you during the holiday season. I will also share some very specific examples of what I do to create space, relief and release this way - including just releasing 3800 emails in one hour! Do this short power pause with me now and then come to the full Year End Reflection Ritual and Power Pause on Dec 18th www.ReflectionRitual.com So grateful we are connected!With heart Christine p.s.

Cyclical Living is the practice of working with the natural cycles of how the earth and the universe - and therefore us a humans (who are part of the natural world) - thrive, create and operate best. The wisdom is simple: When you harmonize yourself to the natural cycles - day, week, month and year - everything in your life (which includes career, money, relationships, work, health, wealth, practice, business, etc) comes into more alignment and harmony. It's not a pancea promising some kind of nirvana living with no stretch, stress, struggle or uncertainty. Cyclical living is the HOW we stay centered, sustained, supported and in alignment with our unique design, part and path. It's a practice for reducing anxiety and overwhelm, strengthening trust and intuition, making wise choices, exiting the burnout matrix, and gaining the power to see what is real and true. For me, understanding and practicing cyclical living as how I lead my business, advise my leadership clients, bring my dreams and intentions into form, and create a life and work style that sustains me, is an essential practice. For visioning, planning, pathing, and creating sustainable success. There is so much to share about this practice - because it goes counter to what our culture teaches us is right and real (and keeps us stuck in the go go go, tick tock robot, never enough scarcity striving reality). Which is why, #2 of 3 in our Embracing Your Co-Creative Power Series is focused on this single practice:The Practice Cyclical Living. Tune in and we'll: Explore the Meta reality between time and space, cycles and routine Break down cylical living to the practical way you design your days, weeks, months and year Illuminate some ways the lack of trust in cyclical living creates a culture that values exponential growth and accumulation over what truly supports the planet and people to thrive. Apply these principles to the next 3 months - to create focus and fluidity for you. We'll also be using the Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained book - if you have yours, bring it. If you don't have it yet - get your copy here. *** p.s.

I'm going to keep this introduction to this series and episode short - so we can just dive right into what I consider one of the most powerful and accessible 'things' we have to not just survive or thrive during these times. It is a "super power" that is so innate and natural - and so powerful - that we can slough it off as 'woo' or something 'nice' to explore on a retreat vs. something that if understood, accessed, and applied. In many ways the overculture loves this because it keeps us distracted from how much influence we have to make a difference in how we experience our lives + how we become instruments for creating a better world. Now. And over the years to come. This super power is called ... Co-Creation. It's different than manifestation. It's not magical thinking. And it's the wises way leaders go from pushing, grinding and striving to actually bringing their visions into form ... without burning out or sacrificing our lives. It won't make everything you desire magically appear. And while it is about us as individuals, Co-Creation (see CO) is not just about us as individuals - this is where the courage, compassion, connection comes in to give us true super power. We are starting a 3 part conversation and exploration that will focus on Our Co Creative Power - principles, perspectives and practices. I'll share these principles, perspectives and practices, that I've been living and teaching for well over a decade - and still live myself. You experiment in your life now, and see what happens. This first episode is Feminine Power Time #194 - Wielding Our Co-Creative Power: 3 principles for bringing more of what we desire for ourselves & the world into reality. This is HOW we do this time. Lean in, tune in and put into practice what feels aligned for you. Suggestion - bring some paper and markers - we will use the co creative practice of visual thinking.

Did you know that the word "busy" means "meddlesome" and "interfering" and everytime we use phrases like, "I am so busy" or "I am too busy too,," we pushe away the exact connection or support we both need and desire during intense times. Or how putting up our busy badge is disempowering and isolating vs empowering and connecting? Or have you ever considered how you navigate intensity when you either actively engage in it or it unexpectedly find yourself standing the midst of it? In the decade plus of my research for what became the book Overwhelmed and Over It, and is one of the root of my feminie leadership work is this: Instensity is part of life. Intensity is not good or bad, although some kinds of intensity feels so much more empowering than others. It's what the tools we have for navigating within the intensity that make all the difference. In your life, there will be times you choose intensity. And there will be times when the intensity happen to you - out of your control or desire. Most of us have been woefully educated or prepared how to move - how to dance - through intensity. So we grind, strive, push through it, or find ourselves in the middle of puddle, or a confusion, anxiety, frustration, overwhelm storm within it. Add to that how our overculture has made "being busy" a badge of honor and success. Or how we've been taught that working hard and realizing success means pushing through until the project is done or goal is reached, to the detriment of our own mind, body, spirit and emotional wellbeing is just how it is. And you can explain of what seems normal in our society is actually anything but. There is a different way to be with the intense times in our lives - chosen or found, stretching or struggling - that empower us to move through it with grace, gumption and more support and connection. Which is why I chose to call us together for this conversation and exploration of Feminine Power Time - #193 - Dancing Through Intensity: 5 Practices to Stay Sustained In Busy, Challenging, or High Output Times. Tune is as we explore and apply to your life now and in the future: The signs you are in times of intensity and the different kinds of situations that are worthy of calling it 'intense" Why you want to kick the work "busy" out of your language library 5 pratices and pieces of wisdom about how to be with the intensity you find yourself in - whether you chose it or it chose you How we can dance through intense time, with the support and connection of others. For this session, I invite you to bring your copy of the book Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World with you. If you don't have your copy yet - chose a place to buy your copy from here. Mostly -- bring any situation you find yourself in right now - or in the recent past - that felt overwhelming, busy, too much of a stretch, intense, even if you chose it .... and then take these practices and wisdom teachings into your life and see what happens! with great heart, Christine Upcoming Happenings & Trainings & Retreats 1.

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters. Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created this episdoe for you, which is really more like a mini retreat. Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter. The September Equinox offers us insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported. Often at Equinox, I am out in the world doing full day power pauses for teams, weekend and one day retreats for conscious women, and going through the process myself. And I like to do a mini power pause for all of us here at Feminine Power Time ... with some of the key parts of the process I feel like we can most benefit from this particular year. The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I added the theme of RECEIVE, because I feel like we can use a fill up at a heart, mind, soul, spirit and body level. Tune into this Power Pause and: Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year - and how this practice can yield big returns in your business, career, relationships and health/wealth/home Learn about why we need to FEEL to make the impact we are making REAL. I will lead us through a 5 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation to: Feel good about what you have already done this year - and really feel the difference you are making + how much you've grown. Reveal the imbalances - work, relationships, health, wealth or home - that need attention. Consider what you need to bring the imbalances into harmony, so you have what you need Bonus - Gain clarity on what really matters to focus your energy and attention on the last cycle of the calendar year. See you there! And make sure to check out the Feminine Wisdom Cafe for a special packet I put together for you to help you find the imbalances or shifts of focus + re-harmonize and re-focus. https://community.christinearylo.com/posts/drafts/sept-equinox-power-pause-practice-give-your-life-a-harmony-adjustment Christine *** Resources 1.

Taking leaps. Small ones. Big ones. In between ones. Whether we are leaving a job or changing careers... or moving our home... or starting or ending a marriage or relationship... or choosing to make a change, break a pattern or complete something without knowing exactly what's on the other side... Taking leaps is like an olympic sport most of us didn't get training for. So we figure it out as we go. If we are fortunate, we find guides along the way who have leapt before us. People who can give us some wisdom and practical steps for how to take leaps with grace. People who can support us to tap into our gumption to fuel the courage and clarity we need to leap. I've lept many times into the unknown, followed the unconventional path, made choices for freedom over security, trusting that it would all work out in the end. So far I am still standing, still smiling and while I have some stretch marks from the stress that leaps almost always bring, the rewards in my heart and soul bank far outweigh the stretch marks. Taking leaps is how people who live fully and freely live. We don't wait for all things to be in place or feel comfortable. But we also aren't 'dummy pants' and leap with no net. And the net isn't always what you think it is. Wisdom Byte: If you never step into the unknown you just keep repeating the same reality. I sat down to create this session of Feminine Power Time #191: Taking Leaps, Doing Beginnings, Endings, and Cycles with Grace & Gumption, on the 6th evening of sleeping in my new house, in a new city on the other side of America. A marker of 9-month cycle of making signficiant and intentional leaps in many areas of my life - from career to relationship to health to home to financial. Whew! Exhale. So many of the people I advise and coach, and the women in the leadership councils and wisdom schools I founded, are also moving through big cycles - some they welcomed with opened arms, others they've resisted for some time. I imagine you might also be going through a cycle with endings and beginnings too, whether you are conscious to it or not. So i poured some tea, put on my downshifting white jammies, sat at my desk for the first time in 9 months and created this for you - to share what I've learned and noticed about cycles, about going through this current transition and what I'm seeing in other conscious humans currently. I've got some inquires, stories and elevated perspectives to share that I hope will give you some grace and gumption in whatever leap you are making or is calling you. I'll end us with 4 inquiries to elevate you and/or do with a friend. See you there! Christine *** Elevation Wisdom Inquires Write these out and contemplate them or conversate with a freind 1.

Fierce Grace. If you asked me to describe embodied Feminine Power in two words i would say "Fierce Grace." When we are truly rooted in our unique expression of fierce grace we have access to our full power, presence, purpose and wisdom. Fierce grace comes through our presence, through our words both spoken and written, through our passion and purpose, through both courage and compassion - it's all about embodied pure heart. Now more than ever the world needs each of our pure hearted power, presence and purpose in the world. Imprints of what it looks, feels, and sounds like to embody both fire and water. This month is the two year marker of my fourth book, Overwhelmed and Over It was sent final edition to the printers ... this book was the first book in which I fully unleashed and embodied the energy of fierce grace. I had spoken from this place many times, including this podcast and all of my programs and trainings. But a written book or really any written form is a different animal. One I think all of us can use some wisdom on. I was inspired to re-run this conversation to dive into how we can share our words and writing with the world. Whether you are a writer, or want to be, or you want to write a book, or a blog, or just show up more powerfully in your authentic presence in your communications -- or just start writing for JOY because you have something to say or you just want to! COME to this conversation. I invited Kristine Carlson, NY Times Best Selling Author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women, founder of the Book Doula incubator and community that starts every September, and a woman who has been like a big sister to me in my writing and book career to join us for Fierce Grace Talk #1: Sharing Your Words & Writing with the World" It seems like the perfect time to pull the veil back and have a heart to heart about what writing a book is like ... how it catalyzes your personal growth ... and what support and structure is really needed. And HOW to just get started. And to also explore at this time when so many voices are speaking out there -- how do YOU want to show up, speak up and share ? In a way that matters to you? Feels good to you? And is adding to the world you desire to create for yourself and others? This is the power of Fierce Grace. Take us with you for a walk.. pour some tea and settle in... take us out in the sun to do some earthing, heck pour a bath or snuggle up in bed ... it's a heart to heart ... supporting us each to share our words and writing in the world in ways that light YOU up and light up those you touch. Wherever this finds you... the words you share and the presence you share them through - in your voice, your energy, your purpose - matters. Nothing is too small, we start where we are. You matter. Believe it.

Every year I take a pause to make this these inquiries: "What is calling to be liberated.. within me, within my work/career, within my relationships, and within my physical foundation of health/wealth/home?" And "What 'skins' am I shedding/ do I need to shed, so I can more powerfully, fully and freely express as who I am now, and who I am evolving and elevating into?" Think of your 'skins' as the roles, responsbilities, robes of expression, and robes of repression you have taken on consciously or unconsciously. I do this practice every year because it's one of the most empowering, effective practices I know to support us to make conscious change. When you actively and intentionally choose to catalyze yourself, and you pause to put language to what is being called to catalyze (in your life, relationships, career, money, health, etc.), you are much more likely to have the resiliency needed to meet the challenges that arise... and the wisdom to create the reality your heart and soul are calling you to. The practice uses the Feminine Super Power of Catalyze - which is: The power to use the circumstances & situations that life brings you as liberators and elevators that lift you (and others) up into expanded levels of consciousness & reality. To initiate and call forth oneself out of the comfort zone, through the lightening fire of transformation with focus & quickness. And as a result, take a self-empowered step into your evolution, liberating yourself to a more full & true expression. This year, I felt inspired to bring us all through this ritual here in episode 190: Shedding What No Longer Serves. Tune into as we: Invoke the feminine super power of catalyze for whatever catalyst is calling you or is present for you Invoke both courage and compassion to support you to meet whatever challenge and stretch is showing up for you Boldly name what you would love to catalyze, and be honest about what is calling you to catalyze (that you may be avoiding) At the end, I will take you through a 5 step process to reveal what wants to be liberated and freed within you, what skins are ready to be shed, and what support you need to make the transformation with grace. I love this super power and this ritual - see you there! Christine **** Upcoming Classes, Feminine Leadership & Professional Develoment Programs 1.

About two to three timess a year I feel the call to do one of these Feminine Wisdom for Intense and Changing Times sessions - where we take a pause, put our wise woman / wise being glasses on and take a deeper look at what is going on in the Field (the bigger collective world) and in our field (our own inner experiences, relationships and reality.) So we can see what is real, what is needed, what the patterns are, and find the wisdom to navigate the now and the next. This session was taped live during the time span between July 25th and August 8th which is always a powerful time to elevate and expand your consciousness ... and liberate yourself from stuff you just don't want to carry with you or create from (you can google Mayan Day Out of Time, Lammas, Leo New Moon, or 8 8 Lions Gate to learn more). The intention of our exploration is to give you perspectives & practices to prepare you for the now and the next. Some of the wisdom models, practices and tools we'll work with is: Triangle of Transformation Sovereignty in the Swirl This is not that Co-Create from Momentum and Intention Be aware of the now and what's needed, AND keep the long game in mind. Put energy in both. Focus on your part and your design. If you are not clear, create this space to get clear this year. EOE - Evidence of Elevation EOM - Evidence of Momentum Lots of good wisdom to share - that's all I am going to say here. Tune in for more.

Are you clearing your emotional and energetic fields? What do you do when you get "gooped" by the world, a person, the news, the physical and virtual environments you find yourself in, or even by your own emotional triggers? "Gooped" is my partner Noah and my term for what happens to us when we get emotionally, mentally, energetically, and physically weighed down, swirled up, affected by external forces. In the times we live in, it's really wise to ask yourself : What am I doing to keep my energy clear? Are my energetic and emotional boundaries strong? How do I know when they are weak? And how do I strengthen them? Today, in part 3 of our 3 parts series called STAY LIGHT - how do we keep our life force strong, our minds clear, our emotions stable, our radiance bright in our current reality - individually and collectively - I invited in the person who often supports me to "de-goop"- my partner in life, love, business and service, Noah Martin. The centerpoint of our exploration today is this: "What does it mean to be gooped? How do you know you are gooped up? How does it happen? And what do you do in the moment or as prevention to keep the external forces from knocking you off kilter?" Clearing your emotional and energetic fields is a must in our world today. Just like you brush your teeth and get in your steps. Or you get too much plaque and too much fat, which creates dis-ease. Our exploration will take part in four sections: 1. Wisdom About Energy - What we need to know about our energetic connections and energy fields - and how they interact with other people and situations. 2. 5 Kinds of Boundaries - Emotional, Mental, Energetic, Physical and Environment. How to work with yours, know when your boundaries have been breached and how to re-find your center and clear your field. 3. Goop Prevention - what you can do proactively to not get gooped. 4. Emergency Care & Culitivating Your Energetic Support Team and Structure - practices & modalities that can support you to clear your being , strenghten your internal system, and clear out energetic and emotional interference. Get your practitioners, practices and people in place that keep you at a high frequency and keep your being light. Get these into your rhythm to support your radiance. Tune in. We look forward to diving in with you. Stay Light! De-goop daily, weekly and monthly :) With great heart, Christine and Noah p.s.

What of this is mine? 2 What support do I need to protect my boundaries, so I can make right choices? What allows me to be supported so I don't get cooped? 3. Don't bite the fishhook or the bait. Preventative 1. Where do you continue to get gooped? Think relationships or situations or environments. Look at where this is happening: Reveal it. Get Real with what keeps you stuck in the energy. Then Make Shifts and Changes or Set Yourself up so you can be in those situations without getting gooped. Reduce the energy that is creating the groping. 2.
